Make an adorable pumpkin crossbody bag with this crochet pattern! This bag has a zipper closure, and can hold your phone (6.2 inches or smaller) and a few small essentials. Change up the face, add a second face on the back to make it reversible, or leave it plain. Perfect to wear during Halloween season, which is obviously every day of the year. You could also turn this into a belt bag, or a clutch.

Pattern level: Intermediate or advanced beginner. The crochet itself is simple, but the face is tricky to sew on, because of the texture of the pumpkin.

Sizes included: one size, approx 5.5 inches tall and 7.5 inches wide (actual purse space on the inside is about 6.5 inches)

Materials needed:

• worsted (weight 4) yarn - two strands held together for part of the pattern
• 2.75mm, 4mm, and 5mm hooks
• yarn needle
• 9 inch zipper
• sewing thread & needle, plus some pins or clips
